I have a external HD (Seagate 400GB Ultra ATA) seating in FW enclosure plugged in to my MacBook thru ACD fire wire port.
It seems that it goes to sleep too often and every time I need to access it. it takes a few moments to wake up. I don't know if this is even correct statement as I don't know if external HD goes to sleep while Mac is on?
I had this HD before plugged in thru USB port and never had the same issue.

I don't keep this HD on all the time, I just turn it on when I need it.

I'll appreciate any input.
